I agree that we should be aware of marketing tactics, but the little box that is titled "Disease Mongering" lists IBS as "promoted as a serious illness needing therapy, when usually a mild problem."

It's so frustrating! I noticed most of the medical problems mentioned are those usually suffered by women. I guess we're all just hysterical and dysfunctional babies.
